WOOL AND THE INTERSTATE COM
MERGE LAW.

1t having been urged that the operation
of the long and short haul clause of the
interstate commerce law which practically
inhibits the movement of California wool
Eastward by rail, would result in increased
wool manufacturing here and the develop
ment of such industry in the highest de-
gree, the wool handlers of the State have
taken issue with the assertion in lengthy
telegram forwarded to the Interstate Com
mission on Thursday. These gentlemen
representing wool-dealers, wool-growers
and commission merchants, point out that
California produces 100000 pounds of
wool annually. That the difference
between the new and the old rates
represents loss of over $1,000
900 year. that higher rates mean no
higher prices to the consumers, but lower
net results to the producers. This is true,
they recite, because the prices of the
Eastern markets are based upon the neces-
sity we are under of sending our woods
there, whether we pay high or low
freight" The average sale is at 20 cents
per pound, and the average yield per sheep
seven pounds. When transportation is
paid the return is about 90 cents per head
per year, while it costs IS cents to main
tain each head. When handling and local
charges are added, the claim is made that
nothing is left to the grower. The petition
then recites: "Owing to our mild climate
We shear early in the spring, and our wool
by rail reaches the East in May and June,
when the market is bare of wool, and we
dispose of it before other woods are ready
for market. But if we are compelled to
ship by sail, at the end of the voyage of
four months it would come in competition
with the woods from all other portions of
the country, and any deficiency in the
early market would be supplied by foreign
importations, when we ought to be in a
position to supply the demand" 1t is
pointed out that while the rates are lower
via Cape Horn, shipment by that route
means the loss of four months time and
the interest on the investment, and a revo-
luton in the long-established re-
lations of the business. We look in vain
in this petition for any reference to the
benefit prophesied from expected augmen-
tation of the wool manufacturing industry
on this coast Had that factor been con-
sidered as cutting any material figure in
the problem, these far-seeing growers and
dealers would not have avoided it. If
there is more to be made for coast capital
in more manufacture here, beyond the
present extent of the industry, these in
terested parties would not insist upon
sending the product Eastward. 1t must
be taken for granted, therefore, that the
manufacturing idea is not deemed by them
as of such moment in the question of trans
portation as to lead them to favor
the new measure. There is in this
wool question a factor also that
is practical estoppel to invest
ment of capital in manufactures based
upon the theory of the maintenance of
that would enter into any such invest
ment. Capital is timid ii invariably pro-
tects itself by fight or retiracy within
itself. 1t will not launch upon new manu-

of one that is not simply quitting up"
with what is nothing more than make
shifts for sewerage ways. 1t will take
years to complete it when once adopted !;
while no present activity is contemplated,
it viii pay to coolly consider the subject,
and seize the occasion of Colonel
Warnings presence in the State to
secure his advice Now before i'm
provements are further advanced and
grades and paves settled for time, is the
best of all seasons to inquire into what our
future system must be. The Call urges the
San Francisco authorities to invite Colonel
Waring to look over that city and give
the people his opinion of the pseer drain
age system for the metropolis In resolv-
ing to expend large sum and mortgage
the future to secure it in order to establish
a permanent and correct system of drain
age, San Diego, the most remote of our
cities, has set fine example to all Others
Colonel Waring comes to the State at the
invitation of San Diego and is to devise
for that place sewerage scheme. The
fact of the enterprise having even thus far
been entered upon, is a splendid advertise
ment for San Diego, and will go long
way in inspiring confidence in the place
and of its ultimate growth to a city of
higher Importance

COLONEL WARING, the eminent sanitary
engineer, is now at San Diego examining
into the sewerage possibilities of that place
Few men have attained to so high rank
in sanitary sewerage science as Colonel
Waring. Now that he is in the State, it
would not be bad idea to invite him to
look over the ground on the Capital City
and give an opinion as to the possibilities
of improving our system. Some time, and
it cannot be very remote. we nust look
the question of permanent system
squarely in the face. And the same may
be said of San Francisco and of all the
chief towns in the State. We do not know

featuring on faith in the stability of law
that contains an express provision for its
own suspension. If capitalists should to-
day put some hundreds of thousands of
dollars into new wool manufacturing in
dustries, on the strength of non-competi-
ton in transportation to the East being
maintained, what would be the condition of
the investment, if,when well under way, the
clause of the law eliminating competition
should be suspended or the law itself be re-
pealed? This is alone sufficient reason to
prevent any permanent new investments.

THE Chicago Times is entitled to the
honor of having most recently summed up
Mr.. Henry George, and in the fewest ard
most conclusive words: Assumption
without proof is Mr.. Georges best hold"
That is certainly the exact truth. George
does possess the faculty in remarkable
degree of stating things as if proven, in a
way to lead many intelligent readers to
the belief that his premises have been
established. The instance that gives the
Chicago wit the opportunity to puncture
Mr.. Georges land argument fallacy, is the
citation to it by correspondent of tie
supposed strength in Georges Captain
Kidd parable: That is, if Kidd conveyed
his stolen money to his son, and he to his
son, and so on for several generations until
at last his money, after many change, I
represents property in the hands of one of
the family, of whom descendant of the
original owner seeks to recover it, society
says "No, the ofiense was too remote
time has closed the account" But, says
Mr.. George, if Kidd transmits his thieving
and piratical propensity to his son, and be
to his, and so on for many generations,
society at any point will say, "Here, stop
stealing; this is present wrong" Now,
argues Mr.. George, the last case is the
case of hereditary land owning, and be-
tween that and hereditary piracy there is
no distinction. And here the Times points
out the assumption, and absence of proof.
1t is assumed by the adroit agitator that
no one ever had right to own, sell or
transmit land, because no one ever had a
"right" to commit piracy. The world of
men through ages have settled the ques-
ton for George, and he will never be able
to get behind it. that the right to own
and has existed for all time, if for no
other reason than that of the assent of men;
which gives to title all the virtue it has
facts the Times should have used to fortify
its trenchant reply TO the Georgian
fallacy. All things" are from nature
man only fashions and modifes; land is
natural product along with the things
men fashion into other things Limit
man, well says our contemporary, to the
right to own only that which his labor
produces, and he can own nothing material,
and therefore Mr.. Georges logic leads up
:" to communism in all things. 1t is the
doctrine of the red flag only very thinly
disguised"

The Epoch, a thoroughly dispassionate
critical journal of the first order, comment
ing upon the interstate commerce bill,
reaches the just conclusion that wherever
water routes enter into competition with
railroad routes, the literal enforcement of
the law will work injury to commerce
Such we believe will be the Judgment of
the entire country before Congress assem-
bles to try its prentice hand once more at
regulating commerce out of its realm.

THE anti-coercion debate in England is
beginning TO assume a very ugly phase
When free speech is menaced by threats of
assassination of a debater of public
questions, the caGse that resorts to it con-
fesses to weakness and repels sympathy.
The anti-coercionists owe it to themselves
to put the seal of emphatic condemnation
upon the threats to assassinate Mr.. Cham
berlain. The coercionists need ask fer
nothing better to advance their cause
than resort to violence upon the part of
their opponents.

SAYS the New York Post: "The result
in East st. Louis shows that the people
who are for law and order can always
carry the day if they make up their minds
to take the necessary trouble" 1t was
demonstrated also in Chicago and in Gin
cinnati. 1t is true everywhere in the
United States, and at all times. If there
is misrule and disorder, and if the vicious
elements control, it is always safe to
charge the result to the neglect of the law
abiding and conservative classes By
avoidance of their duty in the genesis of
government-the party caucus and pri-
mary-they give over to the Objectionable
classes supreme control. As good govern
ment, therefore, is dependent upon asser-
ton by the peaceful and fair dealing of
their rights and power, the way to reform
political ills is through the awakening of
these people to a lively sense of their
duty. All the laws possible to be enacted,
guarding the bollot-box, legalizing party
elections, etc, are worthless unless they
are fortified by the active support of the
moral sense of the people.

At this point it was noticed that the
bracelets were not united with clasp, and
were those intended for a small child. The
defendant took them in her hand and could
them. This evident mistake on the part of
the prosecuting witness in making up his
proofs caused broad smile throughout the
Courtroom. Their diameter is just one
third larger than silver dollar, and would
fit rather snugly child of ten years. Lin

Hints About Horses.

The secret of giving the hair of q
horse a smooth, glossy appearance,
depends largely on frequent and thor
ough grooming during and just before
the moulting or shedding season.
Good shelter and feed are also essen
tial items in securing the result. .'Con-
dition powders" are of more than
doubtful value for this purpose. 1t is
well to allow colts and horses not at
work on the range of the pasture fields,
except on stormy days, until snow COW
ers the ground. They may not secure
much forage from the fields. but the
pure air and exercise are much better
than confining them to the stable all
day. In most cases it will be found
that colt can be broken to harness
more easily than to saddle. In nine
cases out of ten, if hitched by the side
of a steady. reliable horse. little trouble
is experienced, while if it is attempted
to ride the animal first, the chances are
that ''breaking the colt may be .
serious task. Prairie Farmer.

A Great Cattle Range.

The great plateau between the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierras, comprising
the territory of Utah and the state Of
Nevada, is apparently destined to be-
come the greatest cattle range in the
country. Already immense tracts Of
land, some embracing nearly two hum
dred and fifty thousand acres, have
been purchased, and owners of large
herds in Texas and other southwestern
states are looking for ranges in this
wide section of natural pasture land.
The pressure of settlers who wish to
engage in agriculture and found homes
upon the lands in the great fertile
to crowd out the cattle kings who have
for years monopolized the largest part
of the states which by nature are better
fitted for the raising of crops than for
the pasturage of herds. Thus there
has begun hegira of cattlemen toward
the west, which bids fair to aid mater
tally in the development of those
great sections of our country
that have hitherto been left al
most exclusively in the hands of
Indians and peripatetic gold hunters.
This movement of stockmen toward
the west is matter of considerable
Importance to the people of this coast,
for the region that will be appropriated
by them is by nature tributary to Cal
ifornia, which should be benefited by the
establishment of great moneyed inter-
ests in locality from which up to this
time little benefit compared with the
extent of country have been derived.
The cattlemen also are the precursors
of the husbandman, who. when coun-
try has become to some extent settled.
would readily seek in it opportunities
for agriculture; and it may confidently
be expected that there will, before
many years are passed. be more agri-
cultual land discovered in Utah and Ne
vada than has been believed to exist
there.-San Francisco Bulletin.
